In the model number, BK refers to the black blade coating and OD to the olive drab handle color, so this is a black blade on an olive drab handle, not a black-handled knife. Mel Pardue's Griptilian design, the ambidextrous AXIS lock, and dual thumb studs make this one of the most trusted EDC folding knives Benchmade has produced.
